GEN. BREART.

France can put into the field with marvellous
rapidity 100000 soldiers and still have the
1000 "reservistes" to serve as territorial
troops. The rapid concentration proves that
every detail had been worked out The ter
ritory of France is compact; the railroads
center toward the north and east, and are in
high state Of efficiency; they can be taken
any minute by the government. and SO, if
France does go to war soon, we may expect q
contest to dwarf all that have gone before it.
"Ah, if we had only been as well prepared in
1S70I" say the Radicals, with a sigh. But
the Conservative journals express hope that
this perfect preparation will prevent war,

"DON'T TREAD ON US!'

Cuts containing caricatures of Jefferson
Davis seem to have been favorites at the
north. They are of almost every imaginable
description. One is entitled "Jeff Taking
Washington" 1t is a picture of a photog-
rapher with his camera pointed toward
distant city. Another represents three fig
ures, a big and little boy, each in regimentals,
addressing a goddess of liberty. Under it is
this:
"Jeff Davis-Please, mann, my big brothers
won't let me alone.
"Goddess of Liberty-Well it serves you
right; why don't you mind your Uncle Abea
Just wait until Mcclellan comes in contact
with you; he will give you such sound
thrashing you'll never complain again"
Another cut showed the Confederate chief
tain looking through the glasses of a show
mans box Of views. The Snowman remarks:
"At the end of the avenue you perceive
White House Keep your eye on it and it
will dissolve and fade from your view."
Some of the southern envelopes contained
first rate ikenesses of Mr.. Davis as he ap-
peared at the time.
The Zouaves especially came in for good
share of illustration. Here is an example
which speaks for itself:

The Sweetest Girl.

The sweetest girl think is she
Who never winks or blinks at me,
But passes by,
With better purpose under sun
Than hunting lovers on the run
Or on the fly.
She's hunted, not the huntress she,
Men think enough of her to be
Her willing slave;
She does not loiter on the brink
OF curbstone where the dandies sink
And polished knaves.
Her home is where her lovers WOO
And where she shines resplendent too
And guileless fair;
Where parents love, o sacred shade
That shields the virtues of q maid
Or mated pair. -
could woman know how far
Those virtues shine that modest are
And turn all eyes;
She would not dangle after men,
Nor think herself admired when
AL men despise.

perfect soprano voice, true and
full of sympathy, and cultivated
to rare degree; who takes on no
grand airs. but will follow an aria

all hearts and heads. And the
mother of so much that is charm

be more than human if Mr.. Berry
could contemplate his charming
